# Understanding your recommendations

After a scan, wines are displayed as a horizontally scrollable carousel, ranked from best to worst match for your palate. Swipe left and right to move between wines.

## The wine card

Each card is split into two areas.

### Hero section

The top portion uses a colour that matches the wine type — deep red for reds, pale gold for whites, soft pink for rosés, and silver for sparkling. It shows:

| Element                      | What it means                                       |
| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **#1 Match**, **#2 Match** … | Rank among all wines found in this scan             |
| **Producer**                 | The winery or estate                                |
| **Cuvée**                    | The specific wine name or blend                     |
| **Vintage**                  | The harvest year                                    |
| **Region · Country**         | Where the wine comes from                           |
| **Match percentage**         | How closely the wine aligns with your taste profile |

### Details section

Scroll down within a card to see the full breakdown:

* **Grapes** — the grape varieties used, shown as badge pills
* **Aromas** — the dominant nose descriptors, shown as badge pills
* **Tasting notes** — a free-text description of the wine's flavor profile
* **Taste Profile Match** — a radar chart overlaying the wine's 8-dimension profile on top of yours, so you can see where they align and where they diverge
* **Food pairings** — icons for up to 10 categories: red meat, poultry, seafood, cheese, vegetarian, dessert, pasta, pizza, Asian cuisine, spicy food
* **Original photo** — a thumbnail of the label you scanned; tap it to view the full image

## The match percentage

The percentage reflects how closely a wine's taste profile — built from its grape varieties, region, vinification style, and tasting notes — overlaps with your personal taste profile. A higher percentage means the wine sits closer to your palate across sweetness, body, tannins, acidity, fruitiness, floral, earthy, and spicy & herbal dimensions.

If you haven't completed the taste quiz, match percentages are based on a generic profile. Complete the quiz or like a few wines to make your personalized recommendations more accurate.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://getpablo.gitbook.io/documentation/scanning-wines/understanding-recommendations.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
